Welcome to our April-May issue. I often use this space to thank volunteers who have gone above and beyond, and this time is no exception. Due to a technical issue with the software we were using, we needed the database we use to generate the distribution list and bag labels for our distribution team and block carriers rebuilt in another program.

Thank you to Randy Layetzke for undertaking the time-consuming task of ensuring all of our route information is up-to-date and useable in a more accessible format. Some of you may recognize Randy’s name from when he was the paper’s Distribution Manager a number of years ago. As a result, he is quite familiar with our routes and our distribution system.

Fortunately most of our volunteers do not need hardcore technical skills. If you would like to volunteer with the paper, contact me at
editor@bmcnews.org to find out what opportunities are available.
